The public federal record on N85ER, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

ATTENTIONTail number reuse

N85ER was previously assigned to 1 other aircraft: Cessna 172 (serial 17276024, cancelled December 20, 1988). Histories keyed to the tail number alone can mix aircraft up; this check keys on the serial number. [2]

NOTERecent registry documents

CLEARAccident and incident record
